Scientists at Cern's Large Hadron Collider have discovered Xi-cc-plus, a subatomic particle four times heavier than a proton, detected in debris from high-energy collisions using an upgraded detector. The finding, which contains two charm quarks instead of up quarks, will help physicists better understand the strong nuclear force that binds atomic nuclei together.
